'30 Rock': Best moments from 'Mamma Mia'

As far as 30 Rock episodes go, I admittedly was of the EW minority that wasn’t crazy about last week’s “The Natural Order.” But last night’s “Mamma Mia” won me right back. C’mon, what other show could pull off turning “Mamma Mia” into a verb?! Besides Liz’s unnatural joy about Jack’s search for his father, which reminded her of that very “madcap musical romp…fun….good” movie, we also had Tracy playing dad to a con artist pretending to be his son (who wants nothing more than to open a dojo). We also had Steve Buscemi come back again this week to sufficiently weird us out, and Alan Alda was delightful, as usual, as Jack’s likely (“Gasp. Feign surprise!”) father Milton. Here, in chronological order, are the standout moments, lines, and impromptu sing-a-longs from last night’s episode:

1. What family means to Jack: “Resent, guilt, anger, and Easter egg hunts that turn into knife fights.”

2. “If I have learned anything from my Sims family, when a child doesn’t see his father enough he starts to jump up and down, and then his mood level will drop until he pees himself.”
